Aguirre Ian Bain Voice: (650) Diane Howard fax: (650) Barbara Pierce John D. Seybert December 2, 2014 Re: City Selection Committee Transportation Authority (TA) Southern Cities Reappointment Honorable Mayors, Council Members and Designees: Serving on the Transportation Authority (TA) has meant the privilege of working directly on addressing the entire county s transportation and transit needs, looking for ways to improve the network, expand on services, continue to support other critical services and to try new, innovative approaches. My goal has been to serve the whole county with fairness and equity. My hope is to continue these efforts and I am writing to ask for your support for my reappointment to the Southern Cities seat for the TA at the San Mateo County Council of Cities meeting on December 19 th. One hallmark of the TA is the leveraging of the county s tax revenues to obtain matches in federal and state funds that more than double the financial reach of the Authority. Here are just a few projects that highlight the effective use of these funds. The recently completed $147 million San Bruno Grade Separation Project which elevated the Caltrain tracks above three existing at-grade street crossings at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues. This has improved safety for both motorists and pedestrians, and it will reduce traffic congestion to and from Highway 101 in the City of San Bruno. The 101/Broadway project which broke ground last September will improve traffic around the interchange, accommodate future traffic increases at adjacent intersections, improve operations at the southbound US 101 ramps and increase bicyclist and pedestrian access. The estimated project cost of $75.2 million will be jointly funded by San Mateo County Transportation Authority's Measure A funds, state transportation funds, and the City of Burlingame. Lastly, thirty percent of the sales tax revenue generated by the reauthorized Measure A is allocated to transit projects which include funding for Caltrain, accessible services including para-transit and local shuttles. The TA is where we put into motion our hopes and desires for a transportation and transit network that builds for the future, where new ideas can be tried, and our infrastructure is sustained and improved. Bridges are being rebuilt, roads improved and traffic congestion reduced. Page 1 of 2
